Before we start, here are a few notes about my thought process in creating this list:

- There are SO many amazing games on the games list that if I wanted to include every single one of them in this list it would be far too long - so we’re gonna keep it pretty limited and [I suggest you comb over the schedule yourself](https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule/53) to know what runs to look out for!
- Of course, this is all personal opinion, completely biased by my experiences - so keep that in mind!
- Runs will be listed in alphabetical order because I don’t think prioritizing any of them is particularly fair before the event - and you should form your own opinions regardless, this list is just recommending some runs for you to keep an eye out for :)

Also, each game and runner will be hyperlinked :) Alright, let's dig in!

## **[The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom](https://www.speedrun.com/eow) | Any% by[ ](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Jaxler)[gymnast86](https://www.speedrun.com/users/gymnast86)**

## ![](/static/blob/oeog99jn.png)

The latest release in the Zelda series is already under an hour and filled with skip goodness. The echoes mechanic alone is designed with creativity in mind and boy are speedrunners creative. I have yet to watch the full route for this run, but I do know that the majority of the game's dungeons are skipped - and that’s all I needed to hear before wanting to see more.

## **[Elden Ring](https://www.speedrun.com/eldenring) | Defeat Consort by[ ](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Jaxler)[mitchriz](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Mitchriz)**

## ![](/static/blob/3ekxkk5n.png)

I’ve written about Elden Ring a few times in past articles, and also mitchriz (remember that blindfolded Sekiro run? Amazing.) So naturally, mitchriz running the latest Elden Ring DLC is also an insta-watch for me. From what I gather, this run will be done glitchless so there won’t be and wild zips or anything like that - but instead optimized build creation and brutal combat and I’m here for it.

## **[Payday 3](https://www.speedrun.com/pd3) | 2p Co-op Showcase by[ ](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Jaxler)[MetroidCrime](https://www.speedrun.com/users/MetroidCrime) & [IndyVillain](https://www.speedrun.com/users/IndyVillain)**

Payday 3 co-op speedruns are pure efficiency bliss. To add on top of that, MetroidCrime and IndyVillain will be collecting all loot while *also* in full stealth. I’m interested to see how this goes in a marathon setting, but I’m sure Metroid and Indy will put on a good showcase!

## **Pump It Up Phoenix | Showcase by[ ](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Jaxler)[ZELLLOOO](https://www.speedrun.com/users/ZELLLOOO)**

![](/static/blob/kzwr00je.png)

Ever heard of Pump It Up Phoneix? Neither had I before a few months ago when I met ZELLLOOO at Quakecon for our Modern DOOM Speedrunning mini-marathon. If you’re like me, you’ve had *some* experience with arcade dance machines across your lifetime but only ever in a casual setting. ZELLLOOO however, is a completely different beast. He ranks *very* near the top of the global leaderboards - and while this is not actually a speedrun - his feet **WILL** be moving near the speed of light.

## **[Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut](https://www.speedrun.com/sadx) | Small Stories K.A.G. by[ ](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Jaxler)[Risuruuu](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Risuruuu)**

## ![](/static/blob/xzd4ll9z.png)

This caught my eye because the SADX:DC relay run was one of the highlights of SGDQ 2023 in which they each played a single story before passing it along to the next runner. The “small stories” category is new to me as of reviewing these submissions, but a more condensed SADX stories-based speedrun sounds like its going to be awesome.

## **[Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus](https://www.speedrun.com/w2) | Any% (Cutscene Skip) by[ ](https://www.speedrun.com/users/Jaxler)[anarchyasf](https://www.speedrun.com/users/anarchyasf)**

## ![](/static/blob/1n57qqve.png)

Wolfenstein 2 is an amazing speedgame with one crippling downside - SUPER long cutscenes with a load of additional downtime. I’m so excited that anarchy has started with cutscene skip in the last months and I hope one day to see a version that could be leaderboard viable - but either way, this is definitely going to be a run you want to check out!

## **Additionally..**

I debated adding this in at all for fear of this article being seen as a self-advertisment - but I *also* got a speedrun into DRDQ! You can catch me clipping through walls and boosting cross-map in the 2016 reboot of DOOM this Friday!
